The Manor House in Little Missenden, Buckinghamshire is a Grade II listed building dating to the 16th and 17th centuries.

It was the former home of Dr Benjamin Bates, a member of Sir Francis Dashwood's Hellfire Club, and the personal doctor to Dashwood. During his period of residence at the Manor, Bates gathered a substantial collection of paintings. These paintings were removed from the Manor after his death, as he bequeathed them to the Duke of Buckingham.

In 1862, James Joseph Sheahan records the house as belonging to a Frederic Charsley.

The rear terrace and garden was designed by Angelica Kauffman, when she visited the property with her close friend Sir Joshua Reynolds.
